Plain English summary: Use the games fairly. Don't try to cheat, scrape, or break anything. The games are free and we keep them that way through advertising. Everything on the site belongs to us unless stated otherwise. We're not liable if something breaks. That's the short version — the full version follows.
Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using any part of thedailychillpill.com or its subdomain games including enigma.thedailychillpill.com and casedle.thedailychillpill.com (collectively, the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use ("Terms").
If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Platform.
These Terms apply to all visitors and users of the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform following any updates to these Terms constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.
Description of Service
The Daily Chill Pill provides free daily browser-based puzzle games accessible without registration. Current games include:
- ENIGMA — a daily word puzzle where players guess a hidden word of unknown length in six attempts, assisted by timed clues.
- CASEDLE — a daily detective puzzle where players deduce the solution from a set of clues released each day.
New puzzles are released every day at midnight UTC. The Platform is supported by advertising and is provided free of charge to all users.
Permitted Use
You may use the Platform for personal, non-commercial enjoyment of the games provided. Specifically, you may:
- Play the daily puzzles and games on any personal device.
- Share your game results (the emoji grid and score) on social media and messaging platforms.
- Link to the Platform from a personal blog, social media profile, or website.
- Discuss the Platform and its games in online communities and forums.
All other uses require our prior written permission.
Prohibited Conduct
You agree not to:
- Cheat or exploit — use browser developer tools, scripts, bots, or any automated method to extract the daily answer before solving the puzzle legitimately.
- Scrape or crawl — use automated systems to collect data, content, or puzzle answers from the Platform without permission.
- Reverse engineer — attempt to decompile, disassemble, or extract the source code of the Platform for purposes other than personal learning.
- Interfere — take any action that places unreasonable load on the Platform's infrastructure or that disrupts other users' access.
- Misrepresent — share fabricated game results or falsely claim puzzle solutions on social media or in public forums.
- Reproduce commercially — copy, clone, or reproduce the Platform's games, branding, puzzle content, or design for commercial purposes without written permission.
- Circumvent advertising — use ad-blocking software in a manner that undermines the Platform's ability to generate revenue, given that advertising is what keeps the games free.
